About 2 months ago a friend brought me a cat. I was asked to foster her because she and her sisters were left outside. They had been starved so bad that the two sisters expired.

She is a Himalaian Purshan and was sooo very sick.

Well I have now gotten her to eat, walk again and have decided to keep her.
Bella is her name now. And she loves the crap out of me...smiles

She has a very long way to go before her sore are better. And she doesn't have a voice. But I know what she is saying when she opens her mouth like she is meowing...lol

Her one eye is partially blind I believe as well. And I am quite sure she has a lil brain damage. But she is growing healthy by the day. And is very loveable.

Her muscles were gone by the time I got her but they are beginning to build again.

I feel so blessed she found her way to our home.

Sometimes the best things in life,
Aren't tied in pretty packages and bows...wink

They sure aren't. Two years ago I fostered a scared blue Doberman. He's OCD, he has IBD and he blows his coat from time to time. But he never moved on to another permanent home, he loves me to death. He's not a pretty package, he's pretty much a trainwreck, but he's my boy and I adore him.

The reward money for finding the children who stoned the pit bull mix is now at $8K (all put up by various folks). It is going to have the children prosecuted. As for the dog, she is still recovering from her injuries. My neighbor is on top of the list to adopt her. He and his son go and visit weekly. I can hardly wait for them to bring her home.

There is a lot of concern in Seattle for the dogs. Distemper has hit the racoon population very hard here and now there is concern about the dogs that have not had their shots. I used to have a large racoon population around my house, I have not seen one in months.

There is a guy at Church who is in vet school. He swears that skunks make the best pets, once their spray pouch is removed. In fact, there is a new thing going on at his school where skunks are having this defense mechanism removed from skunks and they are being sold as pets.

Personally, I don't think it's right. I think skunks should be left out in the wild.

We used to have a skunk for a pet growing up. I don't know if I would say he made the best pet but he definitely was one of the greatest. My uncle found him while he and my b-i-l were hunting and brought him home. He behaved as part of the family within the week. We were a wild bunch, too.

We didn't have Sharky's scent glands removed. We just learned to be careful when he got too riled.

They are quite intelligent creatures. I can understand why people would try to domesticate them. Not that I am condoning this, mind you.... just my 2 cents.

Say folks wanna pass something by yall.My next door neighbor has a huge dog and for as long as I have lived hear (3years) he has been tied to a tree,they take care of him and he has a big igloo to sleep in but is never off the chain..unless he breaks it.He gets along with the other dogs cause they dont fight and are loose in the yard with him being tied tied the tree.The dog is black and very broad headed and his hair hangs down in ropes wich are his breed standard not cause of him not beng groomed.I dont want to call the pound cause if they do pick him up he is on a one way ticket out cause theses ppl at the pound would rather gass them than find them a home.this dog is huge like over a 100 pounds..The owners arent the friendlest ppl but not rude either,just not into talking to anyone,cause I have tryed to bring up the dog in a friendly convo over the fence...its hi ,hello and gone...
